Nutritional and Sensory Quality of Two Types of Cress Microgreens Depending on the Mineral Nutrition

The present study addressed the combination of nutritional and sensory quality assessment radish garden cress as microgreens cultivated in different amounts mineral nutrients under conditions that can be realized a private household. content value adding compounds was determined by means chemical analyses. Total flavor impression visual appearance were rated untrained consumer tests. In cotyledons (Raphanus sativus L.), carotenoid, total phenols, nitrate contents, antioxidant capacity decreased significantly with decreasing nutrient solution, whereas, stems, phenols anthocyanin contents rose content. (Lepidium sativum carotenoid increased content, indicating response to changing minerals solution depends on compound interest, plant species, even organ species. studied generally highest when highest, is not necessarily identical quality. Considering common practice households, cultivation tap water represents an attractive compromise for case cress, application 25% modified Hoagland recommended.
